Nothing tops Aretha’s Version…
you feel her rendition deep in
your soul it fcks wit your emotions
RIP Queen

I like Lauryn’s version, she made it her own, but Aretha’s version resonates with my soul.This is the 3rd version of this song I’ve heard incl Aretha’s, and
Ms Franklin is still 2nd to none💕

This is not some overproduced music video version. This is live and she sounds great🙌

First time hearing Lauren's version. Fantastic! A great cover and fitting tribute to Aretha's early era.

[CHEONE.]

I'm only one step ahead of heartbreak
 
One step ahead of misery
 
One step is all I have to take
 
Backwards to be the same old fool for you
I used to be
 
I'm only one step ahead of your arms
 
One kiss away from your sweet lips
 
I know I can't afford to stop for one moment
Cos I'm just out of reach of your fingertips
 
Your warm breath on my shoulder
 
Keeps reminding me
 
That it's too soon to forget you
 
It's too late to be free can't you see
 
I'm only one step ahead of your love
 
I try and yet I can't take two
 
Seems like I'll have to take that one step backwards
 
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you
 
Cos one step ahead is a step too far away from you
 
Just one step ahead is a step too far away from you

I saw her performance at voodoo fest, in New Orleans a few years ago, She was, and is worth the wait.

Aretha Franklin did this song in the early 60s, but Lauryn did a good job, the song itself is awesome.
